I guess monarchy is needed after all. After the Louie's execution, French government has corrupted and failed due to not so great leaders. In fact, we didn't even have one, just some governors. However, this one short man named Napoleon Bonaparte came to dominate the whole governing system after showing off that he can do very good job with planning the war and leading the whole military. He favored most French by gaining many victories from the war between Prussia and Austria. Later some of the countries from the Europe joined the other side of the war. Fortunately, the war ended with a peaceful treaty.
Although France is governed under the monarchy, it's like nothing before. With Napoleon governing the France, almost everything improved even the privileges of the 3rd estate. He established a different, fair and efficient way to collect taxes and initiate national banking system. I love how I can buy breads as much as I want. He also rebuilt church where I can worship God furthermore.
Finally, France has changed a total opposite since the first time I wrote on this diary and until now. When I first wrote on this journal, Louis XIV took the control of this nation, not even caring about what others think especially the 3rd estate. But now, Napoleon Bonaparte, I just can say that he's the most great man of the France who will be remembered in history of the France. I mean, it was hard for me to go through all those great changes, with the result like this, I satisfy from the effort I put in, and all the hardships I went through.
Diary Entry II of Marie Louise
January 22, 1793
France has finally turned down a absolute monarchy and established a democracy. This is what I have dreamed about for the past 16 years. This is the time that all the hardships, efforts pays off from the 97% of the France, 3rd estate. This event will be the most grateful and miraculous day of the France which will stay in France's history forever. They took over the property of chuche's land and are controlling now. In addition, we got to pay off our nation's huge debt and cover the destruction of food shortage. Now, us the 3rd estate, will be able to gain liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression that we never had before. I just can't wait until the day comes.
Prussia and Austria were trying for Louise to take control of his position again. Therefore, the legislative government declared war upon them. However, a wimpy Louis and his wife, tried to flee the nation by the fear of radicals' remonstrate. Fortunately they were caught and Louis was sentenced to death. He even stood in the guillotine proudly for what he have done during his ruling time. Some of the people felt pity on him, but I didn't. I felt so light and thought everything was solved.
A few days ago, 3rd estate women held a meeting in a little smelly basement. One of the leader Jacqueline-Adelle Cartier discussed the topic about the problem with Jacobins. I mean, it's true that they established our dream that we had since we were born, but I think they went little too far. I don't think it's okay to just take control of the church land. It's the place where people worship God and interact with him. Also executing king's head... he did take care of the France for few years. However, I do feel thankful for what they have done.
After the meeting, I was walking out of the basement. Right then, I bumped with a person that looked like a second estate, later that day, I found the person was Anne Boucher. I stared at her because I thought it was very strange for 2nd estate to stand in front of the basement, where it's very smelly, dirty, and stinky.
Diary Entry I of Marie Louise

Hey, it's been a long time since the last time I wrote on this diary. Well, there was a huge change from the last time I wrote on this diary. Today, there was a meeting between first estate, second estate, and third estate (represents me) by the call of the Louis XIV. Each estate had one vote; however, I think it's unfair for us because 1st state and 2nd estate can outnumber us. I wish they feel compassionate toward us.
I thought my class would not have any power. However, we stayed strong and came up with making our own name. This name, National Assembly, will lead us to liberty and more rights. It even sounds cool to me. A guy named Emmanuel- Joseph Sieyès has helped us mostly because he was the one who came up with the idea and the name itself. I wish this meeting would be the first step of the Revolution of the France and terminatation of the governing system of absolute monarchy.
I heard that we'll be able to pass laws and reform in the name of French because of the new group "Nationa Assembly". I just want more rights, less taxes, and to be treated fairly. That's all I want. I guess it's hard for governments to give me those little tings. I heard a news from my parents that soon, there will be a remonstrate against the government and the 1st estate from the 3rd estate. I wish it goes well so we can get some rights and I wish no one would get hurt.
